Butterfly possibilities

As the New Year is the beginning of a new year, of new hopes, of new dreams, I've used the Butterflies Backgrounder stamp for my card base. Butterflies, to me, symbolize new beginnings.

Using the Butterflies Backgrounder stamp, I "inked" it with Faber Castell Gelatos and used a baby wipe to blend the colors directly on the rubber stamp before stamping it on cream cardstock. Then I used the Gelatos to add some color around the entire image, again blending with a baby wipe.

The sentiment is from A Time to Stamp set and was stamped on a piece of white cardstock which was spritzed with Clearsnap Spritzers. The sentiment works well with the background stamp as Every day is a blessing. I added several gems to finish off the card.

About Me

Welcome to my blog. I've been married to Gary for 37 years. We have a 22 year old Criminal Justice college grad and 9 year old pup.
I've been creating in some form since I was a child. It started with crochet, sewing, macramé and beading. Turning down a scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Technology, I became a business major managing several major corporations during my career; however, I always kept my crafty endeavors.
I love to teach classes and can be found teaching in my craft room as well as my local stores.
